There are a few ways to clean rust off weights. You can use a wire brush, sandpaper, or a Scotch-Brite pad. You can also use a degreaser such as acetone or Murphy’s Oil Soap. Finally, you can use a rust inhibitor such as WD-40 or Rust-Oleum.

While rusty dumbbells may technically be able to be used, their effectiveness is significantly decreased. The rust will cause the weights to become unstable and less effective. Additionally, the oils and sweat that are naturally present on our skin will also cause the weights to become slippery, making them even less effective.
Rubbing alcohol and a cloth will work.
WD-40 does not specifically target rust, but it is a general cleaner and degreaser. It can remove surface rust, but it is not effective at removing deep rust or corrosion.

There are a few different ways to remove stains from dumbbells. You can use hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, or club soda. To make a paste of the three ingredients, mix 1/2 cup of each ingredient together and apply to the stain. Let sit for 10 minutes, then scrub with a brush. If the stain is too large, you can pour a small amount of boiling water onto the paste and let sit for 10 minutes before scrubbing.
